Geocache Description:

An easy letterbox celebrating another Camden poet. Not quite as well known as his neighbor across the pond but well worth a read. As always with letterboxes, the stamp is part of the cache, not a trade item, please leave with the box. Limited edition artist prints included for the first 10 or so visitors since I know geocachers don't usually carry ink pads (hip waders and rope ladders maybe...).

:)

I lie with my brother in pen,
waiting to be discovered again.

Although my style was Haiku,
I shall use this poem to guide you.

I rest where others eternally lay
in a testament to time known as Harleigh.

Search for my compatriot and you will find me
near a monument of stone engraved with a lily.

Look high, look low and use this rhyme
to find my cache left in the vines.

Please treat this area with the proper respect when visiting.
